I'm in trouble again! My best friend, the princess in the group, please save me!
Chapter 31 The secret must not be revealed
"So when was the last time there was a thunderstorm?" Seeing Doctor Ji enjoying it, Jiang Xingkuo quickly asked while the iron was hot.
"That is ~ the secret cannot be revealed ~" Doctor Ji almost let it slip.
"Tsk..." The two people were immediately deflated.
Jiang Xingkuo gritted his teeth and shouted, "Yutai! Bring on the cake!"
An Huanyan's eyes lit up.
Yutai was busy mixing the cream on the freshly baked cake. After many practices, she had mastered the essence of making cakes.
The small cake was presented in front of Doctor Ji.
Doctor Ji's eyes filled with tears: "Oh my! I haven't eaten this for decades. I really miss it!"
"Please enjoy your meal, miracle doctor!" An Huanyan offered the fork specially made in her palace to please him.
"Hmm~" Ji Shen took a bite and hummed with satisfaction.
The two suppressed their smiles and looked at each other.
"But!" Doctor Ji paused, leaned back in his chair, and said like a proud old man throwing a tantrum: "How can we do without tea?!"
"Oh, yes, yes!" Jiang Xingkuo quickly asked Songyan to brew a pot of the best West Lake Longjing tea.
Doctor Ji didn't even look at it, and waved his hand: "I'm tired of drinking!"
An Huanyan said in embarrassment: "Old man, how about Pu'er?"
"No, no! You don't deserve this!" Doctor Ji pointed at the half-eaten cake.
Jiang Xingkuo gritted his teeth and used his trump card: "Yutai! Bring me the pearl milk tea!"
"But...you said to leave it to Tai..." Yutai hesitated to speak.
"Go ahead! Just do it! Even though it's very troublesome!"
Yutai quickly brought out a cup of brown milk tea from the ice cellar, with black pearls floating in it.
"That's right! That's it!" Doctor Ji's eyes lit up, he took the milk tea, took a big sip, and then chewed the pearls contentedly. "Not bad, not bad! I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you so much!"
Jiang Xingkuo scratched his chin, "Could the miracle doctor be from the same place as us?"
An Huanyan suddenly realized what was happening and shouted, "Aren't you the old Taoist priest? How did you get here?"
"The secret of heaven~cannot~be revealed~" Doctor Ji sang in a theatrical voice with great pride.
An Huanyan was so angry that her teeth itched, but she could only smile and ask, "Then old man, can you tell me when it will rain?"
"Heaven's secret..."
"The secret cannot be revealed! You can't drink the milk tea! You can't eat the cake!" Jiang Xingkuo snatched the milk tea in his hand, and An Huanyan also picked up the cake on the table.
Doctor Ji stood up anxiously: "Hey hey hey! What are you doing? Won't it be cured in two days?! Why are you in such a hurry!"
The two looked at each other again and returned the things.
They couldn't get any other information out of him. No matter how the two men threatened or bribed him, Doctor Ji would only say that one sentence.
"The secret of heaven cannot be leaked."
Jiang Xingkuo imitated him in a mean way, making An Huanyan burst out laughing.
"Stop laughing! Haven't you heard that it rains in two days? Hurry up and think about what else you haven't done! Don't regret it when you leave!" Jiang Xingkuo yelled at her.
"Oh." An Huanyan crawled away angrily.
"Your Highness, Doctor Ji is back."
The prince didn't say anything, and Wu Ye followed him out.
But it was not until the evening when the weary birds returned to their nests that the prince left with a helpless look on his face.
Wu Ye suddenly stood up and said, "Your Highness, this old man refuses to say anything. Do you want me to go..."
"No need. He is not an ordinary old man." The prince stopped him without thinking.
The setting sun shone on the prince's face, half in light and half in dark.
"This is not the primary issue right now. Yan Buwan's problem is."
He rubbed his temples, his words revealing his exhaustion.
"No night is dull."
"...Yan Buwan is pregnant. It was Doctor Ji who told me."
Wu Ye was horrified.
"Why are you surprised? You should have known it long ago." The prince said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Wu Ye is frightened. Does he need to do anything?" Wu Ye returned to his indifferent expression.
"No need. She's probably almost realized it, and father will know it soon too." The prince tapped the table lightly, thinking.
Yutai acted very strangely these two days. Jiang Xingkuo grabbed her and taught her her secret recipe over and over again.
"Girl, do you have to learn everything now?" little Yutai asked curiously.
"Yes, I'm afraid I won't have a chance in the future." Jiang Xingkuo was very secretive.
"girl?"
"It's okay," she patted Yutai's head, "I was afraid that I would forget and then I wouldn't be able to teach you. You know, if you don't do it for too long, you'll get rusty."
"Don't panic, young lady. Yutai has already written it all down." She held up a thick notebook.
Jiang Xingkuo patted her on the shoulder and reminded her, "After these are done, send one copy to the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."
"Yes."
Jiang Xingkuo saw that An Huanyan had not moved, so he came to see him.
"What are you doing!"
An Huanyan was startled. When she saw it was her, she asked, "Which one do you think is better for me to wear? Or this one?"
She turned her head, revealing her ruby earrings, and then turned her head again, revealing her sapphire earrings.
"..." Jiang Xingkuo looked at her speechlessly, "Is this what you've been busy with these past two days?"
"What else? We are finally going back, so of course we have to go back beautifully! Besides, with this set of clothes, we don't have to worry about running out of money when we go back!" An Huanyan said, and decided to add a pearl necklace.
"Are you really not going to say goodbye?" Jiang Xingkuo saw the panic in her eyes.
An Huanyan was stunned for a long time before she put down the golden hairpin in her hand.
"Xingxing, you know what? This period of time has been like a dream. I never thought that I would have a family, a loving but incompetent father, a strict but caring mother, and even a brother who indulges me and cleans up my messes."
An Huanyan's sad smile made Jiang Xingkuo at a loss as to what to say. He swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.
"All of this seems to have been stolen by me. I am like a thief who possesses something that is not hers, and yet feels anxious about gaining and losing it, and yet feels very happy. Xingxing, I am too contradictory. Although it has not been long, in this body, I seem to have really been with them for more than ten years. I am used to everything."
Jiang Xingkuo pursed his lips and touched her head, and An Huanyan looked at her shoulder.
"I don't dare to go. I don't want to see their disappointed and sad expressions. The An Huanyan in this world may have died a long time ago. I am just holding her body and struggling to survive. I can't imagine how painful it will be for them if the original soul doesn't come back after I'm gone. And this pain... is caused by me."
At this point, An Huanyan was already in tears.
Jiang Xingkuo rested his head against hers and comforted her, "This is not your fault. If you don't want to go, then don't go..."
"Princess, something bad has happened!" Songyan suddenly knocked on the door.
